Most parents end up selecting something that looks like “it should work” for a baby registry or are given hand-me-downs from other parents who swear by that particular carrier. Then the carrier(s) sit in a box as the nursery is set up. If they’re lucky, maybe one makes it into the hospital go-bag. But then the wonderful little one arrives, and let’s face it: even if the birth goes smoothly, even
